<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks James for the straight response below I think it’s really helpful especially for newer members of the CSC (I still feel like one a lot of the time).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I think the CSC has an extremely good (and well deserved) reputation for the work it does and you are right that has been shown in some of the recent reviews we have taken part in.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">IMHO We need to ensure that our priorities are to ensure we continue to do the things referred to in our charter well and continue to build on our excellent reputation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">All that said I don’t think it will be do any harm to see if we can spend some time seeing if there are areas that we can add more value (I think dnssec is potentially a good example here), however I think
 we should do that in a clear and transparent manner, where we work with the PTI to work out what would be appropriate and useful and then should we decide there are additional SLAs areas we could monitor propose them to the ccNSO anmd GNSO council so they
 can formally ask us to take those actions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
